Is Quantum Computing The Next 'Big Trend'?
Quantum computing promises monumental impacts, from revolutionising fields such as healthcare through its unparalleled computational speed to expedite drug discovery and advance personalised medicine, to optimising algorithms to revolutionise logistics, enhance supply chains and reduce energy consumption.?
Quantum capabilities will also impact various other industries and the outcomes will be wide-spread. Financial modeling will reach unprecedented accuracy, material science will accelerate, AI capabilities will surge and quantum cryptography will strengthen cybersecurity.?
Although the future is looking bright for quantum, its widespread adoption is still in its infancy. However, once achieved, quantum computing will redefine possibilities, helping shape a future where solutions to today's most intricate problems are within our grasp.
In recent news, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, announced that the UK is “investing 2 and half billion pounds in quantum computers” to help expedite the adoption of the technology, and many tech giants including IBM, Microsoft, and Toshiba, are currently researching, developing and deploying the technology to help bring its potential into the 21st century.?
In this edition, we’re taking a look at some of these recent developments in more detail and also explore some of the risks associated with the technology and the top 10 quantum computing companies in the world right now.

Why Organisations Must Protect Data from the Quantum Threat
As quantum computers inch closer to practical application, concerns around their capabilities to crack conventional encryption algorithms have given rise to a critical dialogue in cybersecurity circles.
According to a recent Forrester study, quantum computers could be able to crack all current cryptosystems in the next five to 30 years, with a majority claiming there is between a 50% to 70% chance of this occurring in the next five years.
With this in mind, we spoke to experts* in the field of quantum computing about the threats the technology poses to data security and what organisations should be doing to protect their valuable information.
